My grandson 5yrs old suffered from kawasaki disease Although he recovered but his arteries considerably suffered/damaged Although all precautions were taken .it has come to light while taken eco by pediatrician cardiologist. For the last2/3months he was on blood thinner medicine. His reading has reached 2.3level.he is undergoing treatment escort heart hospital delhi under supervision of Paedritician cardiologist. I am very much worried. Will,he recover fully and lead a normal life.

Ans: If he has coronary artery aneurysms then he needs regular echocardiograms and follow up with a pediatric cardiologist till the aneurysms regress. Till that happens, he is at a risk for myocardial infarctions hence will require lifestyle changes. Most aneurysms regress after a year. But follow ups will be required for some years as will be advised by the cardiologist
